Snakes + babies experiment

recent viral video has sparked interest and scientific curiosity by showing that babies are not afraid of snakes, creatures typically feared by most adults. This observation prompts deeper exploration into the nature of fear: is it instinctive or learned? While snakes are widely regarded as dangerous and evoke immediate fear responses in many people, infants appear unphased when encountering them. The phenomenon challenges prevailing notions of innate fear and suggests that fears, especially of animals like snakes, may largely be acquired through social or cultural learning rather than being hardwired from birth.
